DC vs RR HIGHLIGHTS, IPL 2021, Today’s Match 36: Delhi Capitals Beat Rajasthan Royals by 33 Runs

Delhi Capitals (DC) consolidated their position at the top of the IPL 2021 points table after beating Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 33 runs at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Batting first, DC faltered early on, losing both of their openers inside five overs. Rishabh Pant (24) and Shreyas Iyer (43) steadied the ship in the middle overs with ultimately the team finishing on 154/6 after 20 overs. Chasing, RR looked uncomfortable right from the start. The Royals lost three wickets inside five overs and despite an unbeaten 70-run knock by skipper Sanju Samson, they failed to chase the target in the end.
